Taking blocks to classes,tips.
I find when I take blocks to a class they are beautiful when I pack up and all creased and a mess when I get there.
One friend always has perfect blocks. She wraps them in kitchen foil. They are perfect.
Another keeps hers in pizza box.
I starch but another one starches until like paper.
Why do mine crease?... Does anyone have anymore ideas to keep blocks perfect when travelling.

Michaels and JoAnns both sell plastic cases about the size of pizza boxes but twice as high that are very nice to store blocks in for travel. They are very economical, especially if you use a coupon.

i use pizza boxes too- i've purchased (unlabeled) boxes from a local pizza parlor, i cover them (decorate them) with fabric and have a varietyof sizes to fit many different block/projects- they stack neatly on my closet shelf and being (color coded) it's easy for me to pull out the one i want when i need it- works well for me since i seem to always have 6+ projects going at a time.

I also use the plastic acid free boxes - I put in all the fabric, instructions and specialty tools needed for that project so I don't have to go looking for everything. I have 12-15 of these boxes with projects in various stages. I love the organization!
